Ferrari P4/5 Competizione on track

TG negotiates entry to the track where the racing version of a bespoke Enzo is being tested

If you’ve ever wondered how professional racing drivers come
down from the white-hot amphetamine kick of competition, in Mika Salo’s case
they don’t. Salo, who deputised for the injured Michael Schumacher at Ferrari
in 1999 and also raced in F1 for Arrows, Lotus, Sauber, Toyota and Tyrrell,
owns an old Camaro powered by a 9.0-litre, 1002bhp engine. “It had a Toyota Le
Mans GT1 unit in it at one point,” he says, “but that was just too much, I
couldn’t use it.”
